Grand Junction, CO – A powerful storm system is expected to bring a mix of rain, thunderstorms, and mountain snow to Grand Junction and surrounding areas this weekend. Starting Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms will lead into a much stronger weather front, with significant snow forecasted above 9,000 feet in the San Juan Mountains.

According to the National Weather Service, rain and thunderstorms are likely Thursday afternoon, with gusty winds reaching up to 30 mph. The weather will continue to deteriorate on Friday as a cold front brings heavy rain and mountain snow to the region. Higher elevations, such as the San Juan and Uinta Mountains, could see substantial snowfall, making travel potentially hazardous over mountain passes.

Residents and travelers in the area are advised to prepare for wet and windy conditions, particularly in the mountains where snow accumulation could make roads slick and treacherous. This storm system is expected to linger into Saturday, with cold and cloudy conditions, and a high likelihood of continued showers and snow.

If you’re planning outdoor activities or mountain travel, be ready for rapidly changing conditions, especially at higher elevations. Be sure to pack appropriate gear for cold weather, and check local advisories for updates on road conditions.
